If you read about my trade and how I got Shedninja, you'd understand it. This guy asked me if needed a new Ditto from that Shedninja trade. I said "yeah, kinda" and he said that if I gave him Gyaradosite, he'd give me a "Ditto egg". Now, before trading eggs, I usually do some research. (Also I wasn't actually wanting to give away my Gyaradosite I just wanted to see if he was scamming before I pitched some more offers) and of course, I found this on the web: "Egg group. Ditto is able to breed with other Pokémon ostensibly because of its ability to transform into other Pokémon. If it was paired with another Ditto, it wouldn't have anything to transform into, and since Ditto are genderless, would therefore have no reproductive organs." So that "Ditto Egg" is what I later found out was an Ekans egg. I've had an Ekans Egg before, so I should have immediately identified it... but at least I wasn't scammed.
